Using the Reset button
You can use the Monarch’s Reset button to reboot the device (quick button press),
or reset the device to factory defaults (long press of at least five seconds).
In addition to the typical reasons for rebooting the Monarch (fixing errors or
other issues), a reboot (see
“Device reboot” on page 12 ) also saves the Monarch’s
IP address and status (see “Status page” on page 26 ) to a connected USB device
(USB port 2) as a text file. This is a convenient way to find the Monarch’s IP
address.
A reset allows you to switch to a Static IP (see “Switch to Static IP mode” on
page 13 ), or load pre-configured Monarch settings from a configuration file on a
USB device connected to USB port 2(see “Automatic Configuration” on
page 48 ).
Remarks
• The Reset button is recessed in order to prevent unintended activation. Use a
straightened paper clip, or similar device, to press the Reset button.
• A power cycle of the Monarch LCS performs a simple reboot, not a reset to
factory defaults.
• When using the Reset button, any saved profiles for streaming and recording
are maintained, and all logged errors are cleared (see “Monarch LCS errors”
on page 27 ).
• Holding the Reset button pressed for more than five seconds will reset the
device to factory defaults.
Device reboot
When performing a device reboot, all current settings are maintained, including
the IP mode (DHCP or Static) that was set prior to the reboot.
¦ Note To reboot the device and switch to Static IP mode, see “Switch to Static
IP mode” on page 13 ”.
If you have a USB device connected to USB port 2 on the Monarch device, the
Monarch’s current IP address and status is saved to the USB device as a text file.
This is a convenient way to find the Monarch’s IP address.
To reboot the Monarch, do one of the following:
• Using a paper clip, press the recessed pinhole Reset button on the front of the
device.
• Open the Matrox Monarch LCS Utils application, select the Monarch LCS
device you wish to reboot, and then click Reboot Selected .
